Aneta Grzeszykowska

Aneta Grzeszykowska's (b. 1974, Warsaw, PL) photographs and video use dark, probing humor to explore sexuality, feminism, and the construction (and violent erasure) of the self. Over the past two decades, Grzeszykowska has used performance, photography, sculpture, and video to investigate the multiplicities of the self, the history of feminism and the phenomenology of her respective mediums. Grzeszykowska’s art draws her into the arena of Donna Harraway’s woman-cyborg. In breaking with the old, outdated schema, faded frames and post-romantic, patriarchal phantasms, she retains an unpredictability and hybridity that lies beyond the confines of the dual-channel possibilities of identity, connecting that which is human with what is technical, the organic with the synthetic, male and female, alluring and repugnant, and, particularly in the case of her latest works, the artistic and the non-artistic.
